Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Entire Process of Feeding Zombies

Zhang Tao’s face turned crimson, “You’re asking for death!”

“I think you’re the one looking for death!” Xu Siming slightly raised his hand, and a cool breeze swept over, chilling Zhang Tao and his five companions into ice sculptures, rendering them immobile.

Xu Siming glanced sideways at Ji Wanwan, “Leave some meat for me, I’ll take a stroll and come back to eat.”

Ji Wanwan could not help but chuckle, “Okay.”

With that, Xu Siming controlled the frozen six, making them walk out of the refuge step by step.

Due to the cleaning carried out by Ji Wanwan and the others in recent days, there were hardly any zombies left outside the refuge.

Even so, Zhang Tao and the others were terrified, but since they were frozen, they could not express any emotions or speak any words.

People from the cafeteria also followed to the hall to peer outside.

Watching Xu Siming manipulate the six ice sculptures slowly merging into the night, Ji Wanwan glanced at her wristwatch: Great, 2 minutes 47 seconds, just in time to get back to the cafeteria where the meat slices were just ready.

Ji Wanwan twisted her neck and turned to look at the members of the small team, “Let’s go, let’s keep eating!”

Seeing her turn around, the people in the hall scattered in a hurry, fearing they might unintentionally draw her attention onto themselves.

Zhu Qian, who stood with the crowd, tried hard to diminish her presence, not wishing to draw Ji Wanwan’s attention.

Seeing Zhang Tao and his group powerless to fight back, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

Thank goodness she hadn’t caused a ruckus with that muscle-brained idiot; otherwise, she would have been one of those taken away by Xu Siming.

But now, without Zhang Tao as her backer, she would have to look for a new one later…

Back at the cafeteria.

Ji Wanwan prepared a portion of the cooked food for Xu Siming, then she buried her head in eating.

Staring at Xu Siming’s bowl, Qi Hao felt a bit sour.

Humph! Just wait, he too would come to grasp a superpower!

Xia Li had been exhausted these past few days, having slept all day today, her stomach was already growling with hunger, and now she ate with such gusto that she couldn’t even lift her head.

Ji Xing, on the other hand, seemed quite leisurely; he also wanted someone to chat with, but the willing Xu Siming had left.

Boring, might as well eat.

With Xu Siming gone, the small team fell unexpectedly silent.

Usually, Ji Wanwan would liven up the atmosphere, talking with everyone, but today, her mind was preoccupied with something else.

[System, can you let me watch a live feed of what’s happening with Xu Siming?]

System: [Of course, Host.]

[Beep—]

A holographic projection appeared before Ji Wanwan, invisible to everyone else, who thought she was just staring blankly at the hot pot.

Outside the refuge.

Xu Siming, hands in his pockets, leisurely walked towards the nearest group of corpses.

After days of going out for training, he had already grasped the surrounding environment very well.

The ice sculptures trailing behind him were like protracted executions.

Both cold and hard inside the ice layer, they still couldn’t faint, allowing them to partake in the whole process of being led by Xu Siming to feed the zombies.

Approaching the corpse group.

Xu Siming executed a few easy jumps and reached a high platform.

The commotion he caused made the zombies on the ground restless; the six inside the ice were starting to tear up.

Feeling the movement beneath the ice layer, Xu Siming turned back to look at Zhang Tao, revealing a cruel smile…

Watching his five underlings being thrown one by one into the zombie horde, Zhang Tao’s mental state collapsed, feeling like he might go insane at any moment.

But he couldn’t even manage to move.

Blue light swirled in the palm of Xu Siming’s hand as the ice imprisoning Zhang Tao disappeared, replaced by Water Chains.

Zhang Tao wept bitterly, “Xu Siming, I was wrong, please let me go!”

Remembering his father’s death and his own injuries, Xu Siming found this plea extremely amusing, “Why should I spare you?”

He raised his hand, and an ice spike appeared in his palm.

Zhang Tao shook even more vigorously, “What do you want to do?”

Xu Siming smiled, but not with humor, and answered a question that wasn’t asked, “Zhang Tao, do you think you’re especially formidable, especially intelligent, that everything is within your grasp?”

Faced with the scene before him, Zhang Tao didn’t dare to respond, instead, he just shook his head frantically.

Xu Siming leaned lazily against the railing, looking down at the horde of zombies below, his eyes dark and unclear.

“Zhang Tao, you should be thankful for your robust muscles, or else, with your intelligence, you would have died eight hundred times over by now.”

Zhang Tao stared blankly at Xu Siming, somewhat puzzled.

To kill is to kill, but why humiliate him before doing it?

Xu Siming continued, “The Authority Card was specifically designed to lure you in, did you feel particularly proud when you picked it up, thinking that even the heavens were helping you, that there’s nothing in this world you can’t do, no one who is more badass than you?”

Hearing the truth, Zhang Tao’s face reddened instantly, and even the fear in his heart faded somewhat, “What are you trying to say?”

Xu Siming toyed with the ice spike in his hand and scoffed, “I don’t want to say much, just to tell you…”

“Puh!”

His smile turned cold, and he stabbed the ice spike into Zhang Tao’s abdomen, “When you do too much evil, you bring about your own destruction!”

“Shzzz—”

“Ah ah ah ah!”

With a gentle tug from Xu Siming’s hand, the wound on Zhang Tao’s abdomen was ripped open, and blood gushed out immediately.

Screams echoed through the night sky.

The zombies on the ground became even more frenzied, their beast-like roars piercing the heavens.

Xu Siming was very satisfied with Zhang Tao’s expression.

Does it hurt?

If it hurts, that’s good!

Thinking of his father being torn to shreds by countless zombies, Xu Siming placed his hand on Zhang Tao’s shoulder.

“If Father knew you were this kind of greedy, cowardly, selfish, and brutal scum, he would definitely regret saving you!”

As his words fell, Xu Siming gently pushed.

With a scream, Zhang Tao fell into the horde of zombies and was instantly torn apart by the swirling zombies.

Xu Siming stopped looking and turned to walk away into the night.

Dad, your son has avenged you, rest in peace…

…

In the cafeteria.

The scene in front of Ji Wanwan froze on the image of Zhang Tao’s mangled body.

[Beep—]

The image disappeared.

Ji Wanwan’s eyelashes trembled, feeling a heaviness in her heart, and the hot pot in front of her lost its flavor.

Teacher Xu had a big heart.

He wouldn’t regret dying to save Zhang Tao and the others, he would only blame himself for pushing his own son towards those demons.

Fortunately, Xu Siming survived thanks to his stubborn willpower.

Otherwise, how heartbroken Teacher Xu would be beneath the nine springs…

Seeing Ji Wanwan suddenly become sullen, Qi Hao subconsciously picked up a piece of meat and put it in Wanwan’s bowl, “Why the long face?”

Ji Wanwan was taken aback, and she couldn’t help but look up at Qi Hao.

The young man’s bold purple mohawk was unruly because of limited conditions, dangling over his head now.

The newly grown out black hair made him appear somewhat scruffy and comical.

Ji Wanwan suddenly thought of an alpaca with a slanted fringe, and the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curve up in amusement, “Your hair seems to have grown quite a bit.”

Qi Hao reached up to touch his hair, then bowed his head with a bit of self-deprecating shame, “I haven’t cut my hair since the zombie crisis broke out.”

Ji Wanwan remembered the shaver she had taken last time from Wanjiale, touched the ring on her finger, and took the shaver out from the System Space.

“Here, take this.” In the boy’s surprised and incredulous gaze, Ji Wanwan handed over the shaver.
